EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "St. John the Divine in Silence" by Nektary Kulyuksin, a renowned Russian artist from the 17th century. The painting, created using egg tempera on gesso, linen, and wood, measures an impressive 109x85 cm and is currently housed in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this masterpiece, we see St. John the Divine depicted with profound wisdom and serenity. Clad in traditional robes and adorned with a seven-pointed halo symbolizing his divine status as an apostle of Jesus Christ, he holds a sacred book close to his heart. An angelic presence hovers nearby while gently touching its finger to St. John's lips—a symbolic gesture representing silence or contemplation of spiritual truths. This interaction suggests that divine knowledge is being imparted to him through heavenly guidance. The composition exudes tranquility and reverence as it captures a moment frozen in time—an intimate connection between man and spirit. The intricate details of Kulyuksin's brushwork bring depth and life to every element within the painting. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece of religious iconography, they are reminded of the significance of scripture and its ability to connect humanity with divinity through faith. It serves as a powerful reminder that true wisdom comes not only from reading texts but also from seeking enlightenment through silent reflection guided by angels' whispers.
